- ligyron, on 01/05/2009, -8/+74"He said it was likely to have been formed by a volcanic eruption up to 1,800 years ago."
No! Built by aliens. I don't care what he says. - berdwin, on 01/05/2009, -0/+46"volcanic eruption"?

note blocks 1 and 2 lined up horizontally.
why was there so little information given about this find?
COVERUP!! - DeathJux, on 01/05/2009, -1/+40Hence "discover" and not "create"?
Humanity has only domesticated a small chunk of the entire planet. - uptwolait, on 01/05/2009, -1/+35The lesser-known "Not So Great Wall of China"
- liljay2k, on 01/06/2009, -0/+33Two of my friends died during the great mermaid wars.
- benroy, on 01/05/2009, -1/+33I'm not sure what's worse, the article, the video, or these comments. Damn.
- inactive, on 01/06/2009, -0/+31Please don't joke about the great mermaid wars.
- woodyinthehoody, on 01/05/2009, -3/+34futurama right?
- filldeviant, on 01/05/2009, -3/+27Wtf are these comments?
- dronesixtyten, on 01/05/2009, -3/+26Sorry, no cable in my apartment.
- onClipEvent, on 01/05/2009, -0/+22The definition of 'discover' has nothing to do with how long or brief something has been there.
1) to see, get knowledge of, learn of, find, or find out; gain sight or knowledge of (something previously unseen or unknown)
2) to notice or realize

- wignasty, on 01/05/2009, -0/+11The hexagonal rocks look like Giant's Causeway in Ireland:
http://www.belfastcitysightseeing.com/gc/causeway. ... - nesagwa, on 01/05/2009, -1/+12Yes, there are many formations that look like this around the world. One, as mentioned above is the Giants Causeway, another is almost exactly like this one but off the coast of Japan.
Geometric shapes forming from minerals is perfectly normal. - inactive, on 01/06/2009, -0/+11Dr. Zoidberg: I want the tactile pleasure in cutting him here...
[points his claw at Fry's neck]
Dr. Zoidberg: ... in the gonads.
Fry: [to crowd] Shhhhhh. Nobody correct him. - desuexmachina, on 01/05/2009, -0/+11While it's probably not exactly the same process, it reminded me of The Giant's Causeway in Ireland.

Walls are easy. If lava flows along a crack, then the softer rock around it erodes away you're left with a pretty hard rock wall. - cowtipper179, on 01/05/2009, -1/+12Wait a minute, so let me get this straight. Someone discovered a big rock formation....in the ocean....truly a historic day in marine discovery!

So wait... you go on a holiday, and keep digging? You amaze me. - SkippyDoorknob, on 01/05/2009, -2/+12http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lost_city_of_Atl ...
- db0255, on 01/05/2009, -0/+10Yea. I totally blocked you and reported you for being offensive.
- Fogell, on 01/05/2009, -0/+9Corny and incorrect punctuation.
- wicketr, on 01/05/2009, -0/+9Those edges looked strikingly squared off. Can lava flow that way? Did we live in an 8-bit world back then?
- inactive, on 01/05/2009, -0/+8This was a standard and obligatory comment, but it appears to have made the masses uneasy...
- xDynaBlade, on 01/05/2009, -0/+8I seriously had to watch a 32-second advertisement to watch a 30-second clip with no narration? Pictures would have been fine.
- icurnvs, on 01/05/2009, -5/+13This just in: Water, animals discovered in the Ocean.
- bitweever, on 01/05/2009, -0/+7Seems to be an underwater Giant's Causeway:

- icurnvs, on 01/05/2009, -1/+8Sigh...another digg abuser :(
http://digg.com/users/gnews - angryfirelord, on 01/05/2009, -0/+6No, that's just how Atlantians played tetris.
- mogebier, on 01/05/2009, -1/+6I expected something a little more interesting and "wall-like"
- betheturtle, on 01/05/2009, -3/+8I call Cthulu.
- inactive, on 01/05/2009, -0/+5Don't bother if you don't know what it means.
- McNash, on 01/05/2009, -0/+5Take a look at the under water 'road' in Bimini. People thought that this was part of 'Atlantis' for a little while then realized that it was just natural weathering.
- inactive, on 01/05/2009, -0/+4Ha!
Wait, what? - zip000, on 01/05/2009, -0/+4Futurama wasn't on hulu last time I checked.

- Chuckanut, on 01/05/2009, -0/+4Dude, time for a quick Rockucation. Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy album cover is both a naturally-occurring, interlocking basalt column formation and a Rolling Stone Top 500 Album Cover of All Time. Giant's Causeway in Ireland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant%27s_Causeway
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houses_of_the_Holy - DiggMasterJ, on 01/06/2009, -0/+4I have spent over 14 years under water studying natural wall formations and I can say with complete confidence that this was definitely created by aliens.
- TimAllanCard, on 01/06/2009, -0/+3Well at least mrsims didn't make a liar out of you
